The base of a scalextric track is made out of plastic and the metal grooves the cars run on are made out of metal. If you have a rusty old scalextric track, the performance of the cars will not be the best. This is because the conductivity between the tracks metal and the cars braid will not be stronger enough. This could possibly make your car perform slower than your opponents who you are racing against and not make the race fair. You can perform maintenance, remove any rust from an old scalextric track and make it look brand new once again.
1) Disconnect the power supply from the mains.
2) Remove the track piece you want to clean from the circuit.
3) Place the panel down in a well lite environment possibly next to a window.
4) Get hold of 'WD40' and attach the plastic red straw that is supplied with the can.
5) Spray an equal about of lubrication spray across the track lines.
6) Get an old unused toothbrush and using it scrub in a hard circular motion to remove all rust and dirt.
7) Rinse of the track under cold water and allow to try for a 24 hour period.
